Given an arithmetic sequence with a3=5 and a5=19, find the 24th term.

The 24th term is 152

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

a_n=a+(n-1)d , where

  • a is the first term
  • d is the common difference between consecutive terms

The third term means n = 3

∵ a_3=a+(3-1)d

∴ a_3=a+2d

∵ a_3 = 5

- Equate the right hand sides of the third term

∴ a + 2d = 5 ⇒ (1)

The fifth term means n = 5

∵ a_5=a+(5-1)d

∴ a_5=a+4d

∵ a_5 = 19

- Equate the right hand sides of the fifth term

∴ a + 4d = 19 ⇒ (2)

Now we have a system of equations to solve it

Subtract equation (1) from equation (2) to eliminate a

∴ 2d = 14

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ d = 7

- Substitute the value of d in equation (1) to find a

∵ a + 2(7) = 5

∴ a + 14 = 5

- Subtract 14 from both sides

∴ a = -9

The twenty fourth term means n = 24

∵ a = -9 and d = 7

- Substitute the values of a and d in the formula of the nth term

∴ a_24=-9+(24-1)(7)

∴ a_24=-9+(23)(7)

∴ a_24=-9+161

∴ a_24=152

The 24th term is 152

Do numbers below 0 make sense outside of the context of temperature? If you think so, give some examples to show how they make s
koban [17]

Answer:

Yes, they make sense outside the context of temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are standing in a line, and mark your current position as 0 then if you take two steps ahead it can be counted as positive and if you take two steps back from your current position it can be counted as negative. The positive and negative can denote your forward and backward movement respectively.

If we denote the growth in companies revenue as positive and dip as negative then it would also make sense. A positive number would mean profit for the company while a negative sign would show loss.

Choose the property used to rewrite the expression. log618-log66 = log63.a) Commutative Propertyb) Product Propertyc) Power Prop
n200080 [17]

Answer:

Option d) is correct

ie, quotient property

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is log 618-log 66=log 63

Now we take log 618-log 66

log 618-log 66 = log \frac{618}{66} [By using quotient property, log\frac{x}{y}=\log x- \log y]

= log 63

Therefore log 618- log 66= log 63

Option d) is correct

In the given expression we are using the quotient property

What is (f-g)(x)?<br><br> question equation show in picture
likoan [24]

Answer:

(f-g)(x) = x^4 - x^3 - 4x^2 - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

(f-g)(x) = x^4 - x^2 + 9 - (x^3 + 3x^2 + 12)

(f-g)(x) = x^4 - x^2 + 9 - x^3 - 3x^2 - 12

(f-g)(x) = x^4 - x^3 - 4x^2 - 3

Find out if the 3 positions are on the same line or not (3,2,0) (1, -1,2) (5,5, 2)
sattari [20]

Answer:

The three positions are not on the same line.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have three points: A:(3,2,0),  B:(1,-1,2) and C:(5,5,2).

Let's build a vector that goes from one point to another; that vector will be the director of a line (if we draw a vector that goes from A to B, that vector will be the direction of the line that pass by A and B because it does not change). In order to build that vector, let's subtract B from A:

A-B=(3,2,0)-(1,-1,2)=(2,3,-2)

The equation of a line is:

p=p_0+rt

Where p is every singular point of the line, p_0 is a particular point of the line (any that we are sure that it is on the line), r is the director vector and t is the independent variable.

Now we have the director vector: (2,3,-2), and we can verify that A and B are on the line:

p=p_0+(2,3,-2)t

Because there is a value for t that satisfies both A and B: If we do p_0=(3,2,0) and t=0, we are going to obtain the point p=A; and if we do t=-1, we are going to obtain p=B. Let's see that:

p=(3,2,0)+(2,3,-2)*0=(3,2,0)\\p=A\\p=(3,2,0)+(2,3,-2)*-1=(1,-1,2)\\p=B\\

If C is also in the same line, C must accomplish the equation: p=(3,2,0)+(2,3,-2)t, so:

C=(5,5,2)=(3,2,0)+(2,3,-2)t

Let's simplify the equation writing the parametric equation, which is just to write the equation for each dimension:

5=3+2t\\5=2-3t\\2=-2t\\

You can verify that there is not a value of t that satisfies all three equations, so, the point C is not on the same line as A and B; which means that A, B and C are not on the same line.
